I think this would classify as a children's book. But who all here remembers this book?

I remember Where's Wally, yes. I think Waldo is the Americanised version.

I have no idea which came first.

Read it? How can you read it? There's no text! :shock:

It's only pictures and you've got to find Wally, several look-a-like Wallies and a wizard with a staff.

Well, on each page there is a list of things you have to spot on the busy page. :wink:

The beautiful descriptions can bring a tear to the eye -

I actually did a whole Wally book at a kids' space when my kids were playing 3 weeks ago. When I say "did" I mean I found all the Wallies and all the wizards. I didn't faff about with the look-a-like wallies.

No, he was a British creation.

I have no idea why that particular Wiki link wouldn't work. I tried it three times. In the end I used another Wiki link to the page about the British creator of Wally. :roll:
